usage

=====



1. Trigger `zaw` by pressing ``Ctrl-x ;`` (``^x;``).

2. select `source` and press ``enter``.

3. filter items with zsh patterns separated by spaces, use ``^N``, ``^P`` and select one.

4. execute action by pressing enter key or press ``Meta-enter`` for alternative action.



   instead, press tab key and select action you want to execute.



sources

=======



currently these sources are available:



- aliases

- applications

- bookmark

- cdr (needs cdr enabled.  Google it or use `this packaged version `_)

- commands

- command-output

- fasd

- fasd-directories

- fasd-files

- functions

- git-branches

- git-recent-all-branches

- git-recent-branches

- git-files

- git-files-legacy

- git-log

- git-reflog

- git-status

- history

- locate

- open-file

- perldoc

- process

- programs

(Note: git-files-legacy is an alternative for git-files.

git-files classifies modified files, git-files-legacy doesn't do it for

performance reason.)



Additional sources can be installed as third-party plugins.  Here is a list of all

the ones we know about.  Please let us know about any more you find or make!

Installation is easiest with a plugin manager such as 

`zgen `_.  Otherwise you can just source the

.zsh file that contains the source.



- calibre source: https://github.com/junkblocker/calibre-zaw-source

- MPD source: https://github.com/willghatch/zsh-zaw-mpd

- `pass `_ source: https://gist.github.com/f440/9992963

- systemd source: https://github.com/termoshtt/zaw-systemd

- `todoman `_ source: https://github.com/willghatch/zsh-zaw-todoman



shortcut widgets

zaw automaticaly create shortcut widgets for each sources

that directly access to the source.



for example, execute ``bindkey '^R' zaw-history`` and

press ``^R`` to access history source.



you can get all available shortcut widgets' name using ``zaw-print-src``::



  $ zaw-print-src

key binds and styles

====================



zaw use ``filter-select`` to filter and select items.



you can use these key binds::



  enter:              accept-line (execute default action)

  meta + enter:       accept-search (execute alternative action)

  Tab:                select-action

  ^G:                 send-break

  ^H, backspace:      backward-delete-char

  ^F, right key:      forward-char

  ^B, left key:       backward-char

  ^A:                 beginning-of-line

  ^E:                 end-of-line

  ^W:                 backward-kill-word

  ^K:                 kill-line

  ^U:                 kill-whole-line

  ^N, down key:       down-line-or-history (select next item)

  ^P, up key:         up-line-or-history (select previous item)

  ^V, page up key:    forward-word (page down)

  ^[V, page down key: backward-word (page up)

  ^[<, home key:      beginning-of-history (select first item)

  ^[>, end key:       end-of-history (select last item)



and these zstyles to customize styles::



  ':filter-select:highlight' selected

  ':filter-select:highlight' matched

  ':filter-select:highlight' marked

  ':filter-select:highlight' title

  ':filter-select:highlight' error

  ':filter-select' max-lines

  ':filter-select' rotate-list

  ':filter-select' case-insensitive

  ':filter-select' extended-search

  ':filter-select' hist-find-no-dups

  ':filter-select' escape-descriptions

  ':zaw:' default 

  ':zaw:' alt 



  example:

    zstyle ':filter-select:highlight' matched fg=yellow,standout

    zstyle ':filter-select' max-lines 10 # use 10 lines for filter-select

    zstyle ':filter-select' max-lines -10 # use $LINES - 10 for filter-select

    zstyle ':filter-select' rotate-list yes # enable rotation for filter-select

    zstyle ':filter-select' case-insensitive yes # enable case-insensitive search

    zstyle ':filter-select' extended-search yes # see below

    zstyle ':filter-select' hist-find-no-dups yes # ignore duplicates in history source

    zstyle ':filter-select' escape-descriptions no # display literal newlines, not \n, etc

    zstyle ':zaw:git-files' default zaw-callback-append-to-buffer # set default action for git-files

    zstyle ':zaw:git-files' alt zaw-callback-edit-file # set the alt action for git-files



  extended-search:

      If this style set to be true value, the searching bahavior will be

      extended as follows:

  

      ^ Match the beginning of the line if the word begins with ^

      $ Match the end of the line if the word ends with $

      ! Match anything except the word following it if the word begins with !

      so-called smartcase searching

  

      If you want to search these metacharacters, please doubly escape them.



environment variable

====================



ZAW_EDITOR              editor command. If this variable is not set, use EDITOR value.

ZAW_EDITOR_JUMP_PARAM   open editor command with line params.

                        %LINE% is replaced by line number.

                        %FILE% is replaced by file path.

                        default +%LINE% %FILE%



making sources

==============



If you want to make another source, please do!  Look at https://github.com/termoshtt/zaw-systemd

as an example of how to make a source repo.  Note that it uses the .plugin.zsh

convention that plugin managers like zgen and antigen expect for its main file.

The sources directory contains the files for the actual sources.  All the sources

in this repository's ``sources`` directory are good references as well for what

the source files should look like.  They tend to be quite simple.

If your source requires any additional configuration or dependencies, be sure to

list all of that in your project's README file.



Let us know when you make new plugins so we can add them to our list!
